The answer came; "Do you wish us to understand that the common- , wealths you represent are so impo verished that the burden of family : support must rest on the shoulders of s little children under 14 years of age? Would adequate wages to adults help relieve this poverty? We have no funds to support poor families. "We hope the Keating bill will do for the tenement children in New York what local workers have been unable to do. The Keating-Owen bill will clearly affect product of New York tenement manufacture in interstate commerce just a it will affect interstate commerce in the pro duct of Southern or any other tex tile mills."
